Reinforced endotracheal tube wall dissection leads to high airway pressure: one case

Abstract

When high airway pressure occur under general anesthesia, we should comprehensively consider the presence of respiratory obstruction, and the effects of tube wall dissection cannot be excluded. When tube wall dissection is determined, it is necessary to replace the tube in time. In the current study, we report a case of high airway pressure due to reinforced endotracheal tube wall dissection, so as to share the perioperative experiences and inadequacies and provide reference for management of the patients under the same condition. Key words: Endotracheal tube; Dissection; High airway pressure; Airway obstruction
